AIGF Exit Exam • Set 6 Question 21 of 30

Advantages of VTA turbo charger

✓

Direct Answer

Option A: an alternator is attached to a blower end

Hybrid turbochargers often integrate an alternator at the blower end to recover excess exhaust energy as electrical power. This improves overall plant efficiency by reducing the load on auxiliary engines, while the improved air delivery characteristics can also optimize combustion, supporting the IGF Code's focus on energy management.
